A 5 star adventure in Omani culture! - Ahmad has been the best guide we could ever wish for. We spent the day immersed in discussions about Omani traditions and culture, comparing them to Italian customs. He led us to stunning locations, from a warm tea reception at his home to untouched, wild beaches. Communication was effortless, and the tour was perfectly organized. Absolutely 5 stars!
